Perform Puja as per Vedic rituals at Famous Hindu Temples in India

In Sanatan Dharma, Kalashtami is a highly revered festival celebrated on the Ashtami Tithi (eighth day) of the Krishna Paksha every month. On this sacred day, devotees worship Lord Bhairav, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva, along with Lord Hanuman and Maa Kali, seeking their blessings for Sampoorna Raksha (complete protection). The combined divine energies of these deities create an unparalleled shield against negative forces and hidden dangers. Throughout history, devotees have turned to these powerful protectors for courage, strength, and the ability to overcome life’s challenges. Lord Hanuman, Lord Bhairav, and Maa Kali each embody unique attributes that inspire fearlessness, dispel darkness, and ensure victory over evil, making their worship on Kalashtami a source of immense spiritual strength and protection.

 Lord Bhairav: The Guardian of Kashi

As a fierce form of Lord Shiva, Lord Bhairav is venerated for his role as the ultimate protector against fear and harm. His origin is tied to a divine act of justice when he punished Lord Brahma for falsehood by severing his fifth head. To atone for the sin of Brahmahatya, Bhairav wandered the earth until his liberation in Kashi, where he became the Kotwal (guardian) of the sacred city. Worshipping Lord Bhairav on Kalashtami is believed to dispel fears, remove negative energies, and safeguard devotees from misfortune.

Lord Hanuman: The Embodiment of Strength and Devotion

Known as Sankatmochan, Lord Hanuman is a symbol of unshakable devotion, divine strength, and intelligence. His pivotal role in the Ramayana, especially during Lord Rama’s battle against Ravan, highlights his unwavering courage and ability to overcome even the most overwhelming challenges. Hanuman Ji’s leap across the ocean to deliver hope to Sita Devi is a testament to his boundless determination. Worshipping Lord Hanuman on Kalashtami is believed to grant devotees his divine strength, courage, and unwavering protection from adversities.

Maa Kali: The Destroyer of Evil

Maa Kali’s fierce energy is the ultimate weapon against evil forces. Her decisive intervention during the battle against the demon Raktabija—whose blood gave rise to more demons—saved the gods from destruction. By consuming his blood before it touched the ground, Maa Kali ensured his defeat. Her worship on Kalashtami invokes her protective energy to annihilate negativity, remove hidden obstacles, and empower devotees with courage and confidence.

To honour the divine powers of these protectors, the Shri Hanuman, Bhairav, and Maha Kali Sampoorna Suraksha Maha Yagya will be conducted at the Shaktipeeth Kalighat Temple in Kolkata on this Kalashtami. This grand Yagya seeks blessings for strength, protection, and victory over life’s challenges.

🚩Why is Bhairav ​​Puja so important on Kalashtami?

Kalashtami is a significant occasion in Hindu culture marking the birth of Lord Bhairav. On this day, there is a special significance of performing Bhairav Puja for success, wealth, health, and overcoming obstacles. Bhairav means 'the protector'. Baba Bhairav is the fifth incarnation of Lord Shiva, with two primary forms: Kaal Bhairav and Batuk Bhairav. According to the Vedas and Puranas, once when Devi Parvati took the destructive form of Maa Kali to kill the demon Daruk, she lost control. To bring her back to consciousness, Lord Shiva took the form of a five-year old child and started calling Devi as 'Maa'. Hearing this, the heart of Maa Kali melted and she returned to her form as Devi Parvati. The form that Lord Shiva took to pacify Maa Kali is known as 'Batuk Bhairav'.

Shri Batuk Bhairav, the child form of Lord Bhairav, is considered the bestower of wealth and prosperity. It is believed that on the day of Kalashtami, Lord Shiva's incarnation, Bhairav, was born. Therefore, performing a puja for Lord Bhairav on Kalashtami yields extremely auspicious results. According to scriptures, the Swarnakarshan Bhairav Puja is performed to attract wealth and prosperity, leading to the attainment of eight great Siddhis. Worshipping this form of Lord Bhairav brings blessings of debt relief, economic prosperity, stability in life, and protection from adversities. Performing this puja in Kashi, abode of Lord Shiva is considered even more auspicious because Lord Bhairav is known as one of the forms of Lord Shiva. Therefore, on Kalashtami, Swarnakarshan Bhairav Mantra Jaap, Batuk Bhairav Stotra Path and Havan will be organised in Kashi. Participate in this puja through Sri Mandir and receive the blessings of Lord Bhairav.
